WHEN DEMOCRACY THREATENS TO FAIL

A downed fighter jet over the Baltic Sea that throws the European Union into chaos. Two corrupt power politicians who are playing with fire. And an attempted coup by the Bundeswehr that could destroy Germany forever …

The downing of a military aircraft leads to an altercation between the EU allies. A perfect opportunity for the German chancellor‘s domestic opponents to replace the unloved politician. While the foreign minister enters into a pact with a NATO intelligence agency, the defense minister harnesses the press for his own purposes. But what neither of them suspect: The head of the German armed forces has long since pulled all the strings for a coup d’état to usurp the control centers of power.

A highly suspenseful novel that realistically ponders the future of the political situation in Germany and Europe.

As a 14-year-old, he was a sensation on the TV show »Germany’s Super Brain« with his ability to recognize 100 poems based on a single line and recite them by heart.
